I drove in here with a whole truck bed of scrap metal, and they tried to tell me it only weighed 36 pounds. My scale at home said 5,060—you can’t lose that much just driving over. And the whole time, they’re grinning like they didn’t just screw me over. Oh, and good luck getting help—nobody there spoke a word of English. Absolute joke.

**1** These guys are straight-up scammers. I hauled in pure metals—copper, aluminum, steel—and they tried to pay me scrap prices like it was junk. Absolute joke. ---

**2** I’m not in this for the money—I just want to keep stuff out of landfills. But when I pull up with my cans and plastics, someone’s always there to help unload and weigh it all out for me. They break it down by pounds of aluminum, pounds of plastic, the whole deal. I’ve got a punch card for a $10 bonus, but they changed it from 10 visits to 12. Not gonna get rich off it, but they’re always friendly, and that’s more than I can say for most places. ---

**4** I stopped by this place today because it was just eight minutes from my house. Didn’t expect much, but their scale matched my home weight exactly. They quoted 70 cents a pound for aluminum but ended up paying 80. Unloaded my truck for me, in and out in five minutes. Fast, fair, and no nonsense—exactly what I wanted. ---

**3** The staff here was actually decent—no attitude, no hassle. They unloaded my trailer for me, I used the drive-thru scale, and got paid right across the street at their office. Simple, no nonsense. ---

**5** This place lowballed me hard. The final number they gave me wasn’t even what the guy was talking about at first—kept going on about how they’re not some big company. Then, when I tried to sell them a bunch of wiring, they didn’t even want to separate the Cat 6 from the Romex. Made the whole sale a pain. Don’t trust these guys.
